    Ruston Webster is in his third season as general manager after being elevated to the role on Jan. 18, 2012. The previous two seasons he served as the team’s vice president of player personnel.

    My bad for some reason I thought he was elevated the year before because of Locker being his and Munch guy.

    McKinnon is an interesting guy. I've wondered if he couldn't be Whiz's new gadget guy like Randle-El. A guy who can be a RB, but also has played QB and thrown the ball around some.

    Put him undercenter with Greene and McCluster in the backfield and run the triple option.

    Thats my type of guy. Kid is a true Swiss army knife. I typically let the tape speak for the player but that dude has insane workout numbers to boast about. 4.3 forty, 32 reps on the bench, over a 40-inch vertical, wow.

    A coach like Whiz is probably drooling over a dynamic guy like Jerick McKinnon.

    If Im a LB and I saw McKinnon and McCluster together in the backfield Id have no idea whats about to happen.

    I think we have enough of a gimmick with McCluster. I want a more traditional RB than McKinnon.

    We need a RB that can average 6 yards a carry for the next 10 years and will take a $500k/yr contract. Right guys?

    ...and none of this 1 yard, 2 yard, 30 yard, 1 yard, 0 yard, 2 yard garbarge. We need someone that can get 4 yards each carry on his first 19 carries, then break one for 44 yards on that 20th carry. Every game.

    Needless to say - if you have a back that is guaranteed to get 4 yards on every play you will go 16-0, sweep the playoffs at home and win The Super Bowl.
    Unless of course if your coach is an idiot.
